this looks very like the old train tracks I used to travel as a child... they're paved now :/. Thanks for the trip down memory lane, the painting is lovely.
Thank you, Starr. Many small towns in Vermont, where I live, used to be connected by train travel. Some are still functioning, but most are now bike trails or abandoned.
Another beautiful painting in that style I first noticed in the motel series. Edward Hopper like but also making the ordinary very interesting. I'm sure people all over the country wonder at how familiar your scenes are to their memories.
Susan, I'm always astonished by your use of color. You punch up the hue and intensity until it just sings. At the same time, the scenes are perfectly believable, because you orchestrate everything so well. Wonderful work.

My visual journal is inspired by what I see every day: the weather on my hill in northern Vermont, what’s growing in my garden, a curio brought back from travels or an ordinary object from the kitchen shelf made special by careful looking. "Journal" paintings are fast, improvised daily entries, a chance to experiment with new approaches and pay attention to the here-and-now. When I’m traveling, quickly recorded impressions are posted from Paris, Provence, Spain, Maine and anywhere else I’ll find myself this year. My large studio compositions take time, planning, refining of the original inspiration. I'll also be sharing that different kind of creative process with you here on "A Painter's Year".

Enjoying your posts. Loved this with the abandoned train station and train tracks leading forward. Enjoying your use of color!
This is a real beauty.
